Newsweek recently recognized Jericho High School as the top high school on Long Island , and 27th nationally, as part of its America’s Top High Schools rankings, which were recently released.

“We are encouraged that our efforts to provide the best learning environment for our students are appreciated by the community,” said Jericho High School Principal Joan Rosenberg. “Our dedicated staff provides a safe place for questions, diversity and spirit. All constituencies readily offer ideas for change which are discussed and enacted in a developmentally appropriate way.”

Jericho High School was also recognized for meeting Newsweek’s Equity Measure, which means the school helps low-income students score at or above average on state assessments.

The Newsweek High School Rankings assess schools based on a broad range of data to determine which institutions do the best job of preparing students for college.
